test drive meme


Want to app, or maybe you've already got one written up? Maybe you want to try before you buy? This is the meme for that, in the official pre-opening test drive meme! Of course, it's unfair to throw you into a sea without some life vest, so some prompts for possible situations have been given to you, and are as follows. These can all be in either log style, text, voice, or video; it's up to you!

YOUR OPTIONS


THE HOUSING GATE. While your new home is extremely lovely with a well stocked fridge and french doors and a carpet you could probably sleep comfortably on, especially if you're married and don't want to deal with awkward bed sharing, it's nice to go out every once in a while and explore the area. You do have a new car you know. Maybe you're a kid, joy riding, or taking you family on a little trip through the rows of houses that all look suspiciously alike. Or, perhaps, you've brought a friend along on a trip to somewhere else (you are running out of that low-fat butter you bought recently), maybe it's even a hitch-hiker! The possibilities are endless, but one thing is certain no matter the scenario: you're going to be stuck in this car for a while.


THE SHOPPING GATE. You're at work. Yeah, you've got a job now, working the 9 to 5, making money to buy that expensive food you like so much. Where do you work? Who are you working with? Do you like your boss? The answers to those questions are up to you. You should really pay attention to that customer coming up to you though. Since that is what you're getting paid for and all.


THE PLEASURE GATE. There's a show going on, although as you watch, the NPCs performing it really aren't up to snuff. Their choppy legwork and monotonous musical numbers leave much to be desired. It's really quite boring to see La Favola d'Orfeo so brutally murdered by untalented, robotic, minions such as these. Maybe texting is in order. Maybe walking out and leaving, catching another show or taking a stroll is in order? They really ought to hire different people to put these things on.


THE ALUMNI GATE. That obnoxious ringing alerts you that school has started yet again. Why do they make you come to this place when all the stupid teachers do is yammer about random things that no one really cares about. Since when did the economy really matter, anyway? Are you going to sit here and take this? Or walk around the school? The boring lady up front isn't really going to notice. Maybe you should go to lunch or chat up some school chums? Your youth isn't going to last forever, you know.


WHATEVER YOU WANT, BRO. Use your imagination and get creative on your own terms! This doesn't count as being in game completely, so feel free to take some liberties with events that could have happened, people you could have met! Just remember to stick to game structure and the rules.

[It honestly doesn't matter where or when she is, but there is one young middle school girl, who could honestly pass for a high schooler strutting her stuff.

Don't bother her, since she is well known around town as the "Ice Queen".]
firemaincannon: (♠Into this magical brush stroke)

[personal profile] firemaincannon 2012-04-25 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now being known for something like the 'Ice Queen' is just begging for some to come along and...

Break the ice.]


Hi there, I'm Haruna! Don't think I've seen you around in class before.

[You look high schoolish so she's curious why she hasn't seen you.]

[personal profile] phoning 2012-04-25 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
That's probably because I'm not in your class.

[She's being blunt about this, especially since she's the type of girl to not care.]
firemaincannon: <user name="patch_robots"> (♠The starry sky's limelight)

[personal profile] firemaincannon 2012-04-25 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That's possible. But I haven't seen you around the high school at all now that I think about it! You one of those 'keep to yourself, shut in' types?

[Edging a little closer just to be all buddy-buddy like.]

[personal profile] phoning 2012-04-26 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Not necessarily.

[She'll take a step back though, feeling slightly uncomfortable about her personal space.]

I have, however, been going to school.

[ Ice Queen meets Queen Bee.

Sheryl is a little lost because she isn't very familiar with the school yet. She hates having to admit that she was lost but she had no choice.

She steps in front of Yukina and taps her shoulder to get her attention. ]


You. Is your next class [ Insert subject here ]?

more people who know it! \o/

[personal profile] phoning 2012-04-26 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are you asking?

[She'll give her usual cold glare, putting her phone back in her pocket.]
the_galaxyfairy: (⋆✪⋆ be my boyfriend)

[personal profile] the_galaxyfairy 2012-04-26 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I am looking for it.

[ Returning the cold glare. She is not used to being glared at. ]

[ Haine is always concerned about the well-being of fellow students. She doesn't recognize her, though, so she approaches with caution. ]

Are you alright? You look so tense!

[ after the Academy, just being in a school again makes her feel sick to her stomach... ]

It... It's nothing. I-Is there something that you want...?
waltzhagen: ([Wink] Nothing's worth being too upset o)

[personal profile] waltzhagen 2012-04-29 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. You just looked uneasy and I wanted to make sure you were okay! Being here is strange enough as it is to feel bad on top of it all...

[ LOL they can just be on a street for all it matter. them meeting each other here is where the real fiasco starts~ xD;; ]

[ damon's head turns, slightly, to find caroline. color him surprised.

though at her comment, his lips curl into his smug and oh-so-amused smirk, as he gives her a borderline "well-duh" look.
]

And you realized this when...you ended up here, right?
vampirebarbie: (© ; I heard his dick was huge)

[personal profile] vampirebarbie 2012-05-02 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, I'm so impressed at the comeback.

[Her arms fold across her chest.]

Are you human too? [must. make. sure. it is even.]
predacious: (Default)

[personal profile] predacious 2012-05-02 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he tried. ]

[ at the question though, there's the slightest tension in his jaw, as he looks away, squints up at the sun in the sky before, with a held breath, slides his ring of his finger.

only to wave it about in front of him as proof.
]

Yep. [ he wasn't happy about it, of course. actually, he really hasn't taken much time to reflect on how he was feeling. On the lack of his heightened senses, on the lack of awareness. he wasn't even sure emotionally, where he was at right now.

not that he really wanted to know the latter. but as much as he said he's missed being human?

this sucked.

You?

[When he let go of Gugnir and fell from the Bifrost, it was with the intention of never again seeing Asgard or any of the inhabitants who had always and at some point turned their back on him. Fandral is no different--even if his slights were less than the other Warriors Three and Sif, his loyalties lie with Thor more than they ever did during his brief period as king.

He feels nothing seeing him here now--like a shadow of a former life that was never meant for him. His jaw tightens, lips cocking in a sardonic twist at the corner of his mouth as he steps forward. Loki knows his appearance is a far cry from the regalness he once held on Asgard, on the throne, even among his books in his room. But that merely adds to the schism between him and what once as on Asgard.]


Awfully far from home, aren't we?

I should think you would be celebrating my absence with the rest of your friends.
finefurs: (pic#1227581)

[personal profile] finefurs 2012-05-02 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ fandral has drawn accustomed to this strange little world, though this town itself is new to him-- a new adventure, a new thrill, though he wished he had his friends here to explore with him. it's loki himself who he expects last and he's visibly startled by him. mortals speak often of specters, ghosts and they had their own words for it too and if he didn't believe in the fact that it was not so easy to kill them, the aesir (and those above, the true gods), he may believe that it was indeed a ghost before him.

he's pale and gaunt, distressingly dirty-- scarred, what fandral can only assume was from his fall and though he knows his first reaction should be the cold rejection others would offer, he cannot. he pities him. he wants him to look anything but this: a walking vision of his descent.
]

Loki...

[ it's softer than he means to, expression open and honest, concerned, brows drawing, though he's cautious enough not to close the distance, to keep him safely out of hand (he may be a fool but he had self preservation all the same) ]

It was never your absence we celebrated, my friend. We mourned for you.

[ the candor and joy he felt but minutes before feels like a dream with the sadness weighing on his heart now, the inner conflict that grips his lungs and plants his feet right where they are, ]

Do you spite me so, Loki? To speak to me this way. Speak truly.

[ Of all the stupid things to be struggling with... Wichita needed soda, that's all, just a big bottle of Pepsi she could chug all in one sitting because it had been months since she had anything carbonated, and this town was shock full of the stuff. But, as it were, the larger bottles were on the top shelf, towards the back, and she was stuck reaching like a 5 year-old trying to get cookies off of the counter. With a huff she settles back on her heels, then decides maybe stepping up on the bottom shelf might be a good advantage..

But no, no it's not, cause now she can't see a damn thing.

She's about to give up when she notices a (tall!!) man walk by her aisle, and she's hopping off the self and turning towards him in an attempt to get his attention before he walks away.
]

Hey, um! 'Scuse me. [ SHEEPISH ] This is the dumbest thing, but, I can't reach the top shelf? And I just need a bottle, could you maybe..?
truncates: (super thumbs up)

eee hey girl c: also you did not see that i had some html issues

[personal profile] truncates 2012-05-20 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dexter stops short, turning when he hears himself (there's no one else around, anyway) being addressed. After listening to her request, he glances from her to the top shelf, guessing she wanted the Pepsi.]

Oh, yeah, sure.

[With the slightest flash of a crooked smile, he makes his way over to her and reaches up easily to grab the bottle and hand it to her.]


Here you go.
cons: crownage by <lj user=broski> (☢ well ladeda.)

[personal profile] cons 2012-05-20 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. [ oh hey, bonus. he's hot. Wichita gives him a smile once he hands her the bottle, once again facing that age-old question. does she snake his wallet, or does she try to befriend him? ]

... I don't think I've seen you around, are you new? In ..town, or whatever. I guess this is a town.

[ sideways glance of thinky-face. ]

Guess I'm still pretty new too.
truncates: (➈)

perfect

[personal profile] truncates 2012-05-20 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[If she even tried to snake his wallet she'd be very disappointed with the outcome.

Dexter shrugs, looking as if he feels indifferent on the matter.]


I am, but I'm hoping not for too long. May as well stock up on food while I'm here, though.
